Has there ever been a band that put out a near complete greatest hits album? Ever time I see one of these, they're always missing a ton of tracks. Aerosmith, The Beatles, Bob Dylan always seem to put out a gh ever year or so to cash in, but they never get it right. Other recent albums by STP, RHCP, GnR, all are really lacking, so I guess they're all planning to release about eight more to compensate, as well as make some extra bank.
And many times, the artist has no choice on what appears on compilations. Major record labels today = :thumbsdown:
The best greatest hits and best of CD's are usually the European versions.
Peal Jam is probably NOT one of those bands. I'm sure they have a lot of control over what they do.

You are correct, sir.
Among all of their albums, I would say "Ten" is probably average. Yield, VS, and Vitalogy are way better. Only reason people say "Ten" is the best is because that's where all the radio hits were from. And notice how their greatest hits had to be spread over 2 CDs and they're STILL missing too many great songs like Blood, LBC, Brain of J, All Those Yesterdays, etc. Greatest band of the 90's.

and i do think that pearl jam started to decline during vitalogy. sure they had a couple songs on there, and a few good songs that came out afterwards, but nothing they've done recently can touch ten or vs. i remember growing up and just listening to my 'ten' tape over and over again. pearl jam's 'ten', stone temple pilots 'core', rage against the machine's self-titled album... :sigh; those were the days....

I wouldn't say that it?s because of all the radio hits because that is pretty much untrue. As far as I remember there are only 2 radio hits on that album, Jeremy and Even Flow. Most of the other radio hits came later in the bands career, a lot of them from the three albums you listed... The first album is every ones favorite because it has the flow that none of the other albums do... I like every single song on "Ten" and listen to it from beginning to end with the exception of Jeremy because that song was WAY overplayed back in the day... The other CDs have several tracks that just don't have a good sound or I personally do not like...
Of course it's always going to be a case of personal preference...
God wtf are you guys talking about "greatest cd evar". How can you like that whiny ass slow sh!t? That guy sounds like he is singing out of his urethra. I would rather be stabbed in the spleen with a spork before listening to that garbage.
Are you saying that you just don't like Pearl Jam at all or just not the first album because you think he sounds whiny? If you think that about the first I can't imagine why you wouldn't think that of all his work because its not like he started singing any different for the other albums...
err edit to finish my thought...
and if you don't like pearl jam at all why the fvck did you click on this thread?

Over where I live, I have yet to hear anything past "Ten" on the local radio stations here. They play Black, Evenflow, Alive, and Jeremy but that's it (exluding Last Kiss of course). Heck they don't even play Daughter or Rearviewmirror.
I am saying that about every time those bitches touched (in the michael jackson+little boy sense) a musical instrument.
Same reason you like your "sh!t". You may think your music is the coolest thing but there will always be people who call it garbage. It's based on personal preference.

Sad thing is if I went around here and asked people if they've ever heard of Black, they'd say, "yeah it's that song that the lead singer from Staind sings".
